“Our God is a God of
victories. The Almighty Lord is our escape from death ... He gives
strength and power to His people. Thanks be to God!” (Psalm 68:20,35).
These words turn our thoughts to the great words of Paul in 1
Corinthians 15:57 - “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.” This victory is the triumph of Christ, risen
from the dead. The risen Christ - our Saviour and Lord - gives us
victory over our greatest enemy - “death” (1 Corinthians 15:26). It is
Christ’s triumph over the devil - “Jesus took on flesh and blood. He did
this so that, by dying, He would destroy the one who had power over
death (that is, the devil)”; “The reason that the Son of God appeared
was to destroy what the devil does” (Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8).
